Let system to know where’s your rootfs (e.g. ramfs)
i have not changed uEnv.txt…
kernel=uImage
kaddr=0x84000000
rdaddr=0x86000000 #root=/dev/ram
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
console=earlyprintk console=tty1 fbcon=map:0 console=ttyS0,115200
bootopts=vmalloc=496M debug=7 initcall_debug=0What differences are on the setup between rc1 and rc5 you tested? They should not have so much distinct result.
ryderlee has got successful booted rc1 and my first try with rc5 failed…so i first tried to get same results as ryderlee
Ryder’s defconfig would use ramdisk as root filesystem. If you want to produce the same image as he has, you have to create a tiny ramdisk allowing kernel to have default shell. Otherwise, you need making some changes defconfig about conceling ramdisk as the boot device. So, I suggest you can go back to your rc5 experiments to check why pinctrl doesn’t work. You can add some printk to prove the pinctcrl driver is really probed correctly.
I can bring up r2 board successfully with 4.14 rc4 kernel on ramdisk and thus I guessed the kernel version is not the major problem.

Can you try with default uEnv.txt?
this is my config (imported from github and changed some modules to y because of warnings on make mt7623n_evb_bpi_defconfig): mt7623n_evb_bpi_defconfig (132,7 KB)
How do you build (defconfig,dtb appending)
if you use 4.14 rc5, please use CONFIG_PINCTRL_MT2701 instead. here I found your defconfig seems a little incorrect on pinctrl selection. you can see below for more details.

CONFIG_PINCTRL_MT2701 is not set

[ 4.986123] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
seems that only emmc is found…how is the SD-Card-slot connected (spi/i2c/…)? maybe this driver is missing…in schematics connection seems 4bit parallel…
searched in ryders config about SD/MMC and compared with mine…but found no hint, also bootlog from 4.4.70 says nothing about Cardreader is connected
4.14-rc5.log (21,0 KB)
Nice! You are already so close to shell able being seen on the console. I guessed the problem you had by looking into the log you gave should be you may take mmc0 as the SD device and mmc1 as the EMMC device in your environment.
But, this is not appropriate for the default bpi-r2 device tree set in 4.14 rc5. On the contrary, the upstream kernel will expect SD is used at mmc1 and MMC is used as mmc0 respectively and then kernel can’t find right mmcblk0p2 by looking through all partitions available on mmcblk0 and finally kernel panic is pop out for complaining you have incorrect VFS setup.
Instead, You can try out making the changes for your uEnv.txt with turning root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 into root=/dev/mmcblk1p2, and test again.
right, i did also not found mmcblk0p2, because mmcblk0 is emmc (from partition layout)…but i see no mmcblk1, but tried your modification in uEnv.txt:

@Ryder.Lee can you give me your uEnv.txt or where and how did you created the root-ramdisk? Where in defconfig is root-on-ramdisk defined (to replace by my value in your defconfig)? Or look if both mmc are detected after booting (looked in your bootlog, but maybe you have not a sd-card inserted).
ramfs seems to build in kernel using that line (that one give the problems because i have not that file):
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="../prebuilt/bootable/7623_loader/rootfs_ttys0_rng.cpio.gz"thank you, but it seems not enough to build this into kernel and changing uEnv.txt root=/dev/ram
i’ve nothing in bootlog where the build-in gz-file is unpacked to
what must also be done? create ramdisk? unpacking to ramdisk?
googled around, but find nothing useful information about initializing and using the ramdisk with uEnv.txt
uEnv.txt (818 Bytes)
I didn’t use so called “uEnv.txt”, and I guess that is something like “CONFIG_CMDLINE” in config. Actually, all you need to do is create a correct config and put your rootfs into right place.
BTW, I booted my R2 from emmc.
(e.g. CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="…/prebuilt/bootable/7623_loader/rootfs_ttys0_rng.cpio.gz").
uEnv.txt is config for uboot-bootloader. Here you can define location of rootfs,bootargs etc. do you use uboot? Kernel is located at emmc?
Have you access to sd-card with your 14.4-kernel?
Does your defconfig create the ramdisk?
CONFIG_CMDLINE="earlyprintk console=ttyS0,115200 vmalloc=496M debug=7 no_console_suspend"
Maybe defconfig overwrites anything…
Do you enter something in bootloader-shell or config?
Well… there are so many ways to do the same thing. Yes, I use uboot and locate kernel at emmc…
I’ve only tested SD card with v4.13, but I think v4.14 should be OK.
Does your defconfig create the ramdisk? => What is your mean “create”? The rootfs I gave you is a simple initramfs, so just edit its relative path in your defconfig. Or, you can take my defconfig as a reference.
I’ve used your defconfig with your ramfs-gz (path changed).
i don’t know how it works exactly…does kernel create the ramdisk,unpack the gz and use it wotout any directive in bootloader?
i thought,i must say the bootloader: “create ramdisk at /dev/ram0 with size xx mb,unpack the ramfs and use it as rootfs”
- Ramfs should be included in your uImage
- Uboot unpack entire image.
- Kernel extract the rootfs.
Please refer to the below links:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt
As Ryder said in another reply: you should assign the location where the prebuilt ramdisk is. And note the following the config are being picked up. The kernel will unpack the archive and use the compression you have added the support in your config file. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=“your path directed to rootfs.cpio.gz/rootfs.cpio.gz” CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=0 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=0 CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y
as i said, i’m used ryderless defconfig+initramfs gz
tried to boot without uEnv.txt (renamed)
seems root-partition is fixed in uBoot (using uboot from github) [ 4.845122] VFS: Cannot open root device “mmcblk0p2” or unknown-block(179,2): error -6
boot from sd without uenv.txt (22,5 KB)
can’t see anything where uboot/kernel unpacking the initramfs
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: board=bpi-r2 earlyprintk console=tty1 fbcon=map:0 console=ttyS0,115200 vmalloc=496M debug=7 initcall_debug=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
kernelcommand line is also not that from the kernel-Config, maybe i have to tell uboot to use the kernel-CMDLine
in menuconfig i found 2 options seem contradicting:
│ │ Kernel command line type (Use bootloader kernel arguments if available) ---> │ │
│ │ (earlyprintk console=ttyS0,115200 vmalloc=496M debug=7 no_console_suspend) Default kernel command string │ │
│ │ Kernel command line type (Always use the default kernel command string) ---> | |
first option can also have this option: “( ) Extend with bootloader kernel arguments”, only second Kernel command line have the “always use kernel command line”
first kernel command line belongs to “[X] Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information” (have now disabled that, kernel before has this enabled)
Can this be an option (to prevent bootloader setting rootfs-option):
Symbol: INITRAMFS_FORCE [=n] │
│ Type : boolean │
│ Prompt: Ignore the initramfs passed by the bootloader │
│ Location: │
│ -> General setup │
│ (8) -> Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support (BLK_DEV_INITRD [=y]) │
│ Defined at usr/Kconfig:24 │
│ Depends on: BLK_DEV_INITRD [=y] && (CMDLINE_EXTEND [=n] || CMDLINE_FORCE [=y])
with that option (or without the other) the kernel boots full in ramdisk:
goodman48 login:
full bootlog: bootlog_with_forced_ramfs.txt (11,9 KB)
so here can you see, that no mmc1 is found
@ryder, can you give me the login-Data so i can work in ramdisk (look wha mmc1 is not found, ls /dev, ,etc)
